hmm, nothing outrageous there -
What does "top" or "w" on the rh 9 box say?top: not show much of anything dun think, but sent as attachment

Can the other unix server resolve the ip address
of the rh9 server forwards and backwards? Can
the rh9 server resolve tge ip address of the other
unix server forwards and backwards?
yes it knows the dsl connection and router address, if that is what you mean (from pinging my home ip address during an ssh session with the unix server)
If you type "nslookup <ip address of other unix server>" on the redhat box, does it instantly come back with the hostname of the other unix box?
And if you nsloolup the ip address of the redhat box from the other unix box, does it immediately come back with the hostname of the redhat box?

Yep that's the stock RH one - I suggest this one, even though it's not your problem:
passwd: files shadow: files group: files hosts: files dns [NOTFOUND=return] bootparams: files ethers: files netmasks: files networks: files protocols: files rpc: files services: files netgroup: files publickey: files automount: files aliases: files
Just for fun, you might want to put this line at the end of /etc/profile, even though it's not the problem in your case:
export LANG=en_US
I don't see anything obvious here - if you've got good fast name resolution, then I'd have to say I'm temporarily stumped!
